WA Health is
embarking on an exciting journey of transformation. Do you have the
skills we need to be part of the WA Electronic Medical Record (EMR)
Program team?
Electronic Medical
Record (EMR) Program
EMR is a consumer-centred
program that supports healthcare providers to perform their roles
enabling safety and quality to be at the heart of care for every
consumer.
This Program has been
established to digitally transform WA Health’s clinical
information management systems by delivering a Statewide EMR
solution for WA Health. The EMR is identified in the WA Health
Digital Strategy 2020-2030 as the digital keystone to modernising
and improving healthcare across Western Australia.
The EMR Program will
incorporate changes to technology, business processes and culture.
It will take advantage of innovations in digital health care to
improve patient safety and quality of care for the Western
Australian community regardless of their location.
About the
role
We are looking for
experienced and motivated Senior Pharmacy Information Officers to
join our diverse and highly skilled team in contributing to the
health of all Western Australians.
This is a fixed term
appointment for 2 years
with the possibility of
extension(s).
The Senior Pharmacy
Information Officer in conjunction with the Chief Pharmacy
Information Officer, will provide leadership and expertise to the
EMR Program in the planning, design, and implementation of the
Statewide EMR. This role will work collaboratively with other EMR
Senior Information Officers to provide clinical support to the EMR
Program by ensuring the implementation of a safe, efficient, and
well-governed digital medication management system.
The Senior Pharmacy
Information Officer is responsible for the engagement of clinical
staff across the organisation in the design and implementation of
the statewide EMR and associated technologies. This position
will support the development of a clinical staff engagement
strategy that identifies the operational and educational impact of
the EMR implementation. This role will work closely with the
Chief Pharmacy Information Officer to actively consult with health
service clinical staff in decision making and policy formation
related to the EMR to optimise the medication management system as
part of the EMR program.
